Some former workers in the Eagle Ford shale say in a lawsuit that Superior Energy failed to pay them overtime.

The four plaintiffs filed a federal court class action claim alleging the Houston-based services company required them to work 80 to 100 hours a week for three years without overtime pay.

The plaintiffs say their jobs included pumping, cementing and delivering materials for hydraulic fracturing in Yancey, about 50 miles west of San Antonio.

They allege the Superior Energy misclassified them as exempt from overtime.

Superior Energy officials could not be reached for comment.
